Ayoooo, Hildegard Von Blingin is my girl (not like in an IRL sense I just love her covers), she sings with the voice of an angel. Recently did a totally haunting version of "Hurt" and she's got some others that'll bring you to your knees.

Omg yes! I just discovered her and I think I listen to half of her bardcore covers already.

I love her voice and I love how she changes the lyrics but only just enough. I also love how her versions are different just like how every covers a little different. Her hurt was apparently about an immortal king.?

I absolutely love her Jolene to pieces.

So I am utterly new to this genre of music. Is there any bardcore that you can recommend?

Well, if you haven't checked out her "Dust in the Wind" collaboration with Algal the Bard (on his channel) that's linked at the end of "House of the Rising Sun", definitely do that. I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but the "Bardcore" channel has quite a few playlists of period songs done in an instrumental 'bardcore' style, which seems like the popular approach. I have yet to run across anybody who does the 'full monty' (by which I mean, including vocals) as well as Hildegard does.

Her version of ā€œCreepā€ is actually my least favorite, because I feel she really needed to do more with the lyrics. ā€œWeirdoā€ makes no sense in an old-fashioned sense, as ā€œweirdā€ means ā€œfateā€, often ā€œultimate fateā€ as in ā€œyour deathā€, but also in the sense of ā€œprophetā€ or ā€œfortune tellerā€. I am creep, I amā€¦ fated to die? I am a necromancer? I am a witch? These donā€™t mesh at all with the song and I donā€™t get it at all.

Thatā€™s not to say I donā€™t like her music. I do! Iā€™m a huge fan! My favorite is actually ā€œPumped Up Kicksā€ for doing exactly what I said ā€œCreepā€ doesnā€™t do and translating a school shooter into a Welsh archer defending against an English invasion forceā€¦ ā€œI doth gaze upon the fyrd and I maketh a planā€ where ā€œfyrdā€ is an Anglo-Saxon army. Itā€™s brilliant.
